I was kind of disappointed with this book. Don't get me wrong, this book is well written has great documentation on the language basics, built-in functions and the Standard Library. From a dictionary perspective this is great for a reference. Since it is the only Ruby book published in English by O'Reilly I was hoping for more. For Example, a longer chapter on how to write Ruby programs. The introduction was a meager 4 pages. If you already know Ruby this may be a useful book, it you want to learn Ruby you'll have to look elsewhere.
